- 0:00 Carl, I really like how you brought up this point because the sun is a resource that everyone on earth has access to, but most people don't take advantage of.
- 0:11 It's something that is out throughout the day that you can easily go outside and sit in the sun and as you mentioned, um become or get some enjoyment from and uh raise your happiness levels.
- 0:27 I mean, uh along with happiness, there's other nutritional and health benefits you can get.
- 0:32 Vitamin C, often offered by the sun, I mean vitamin D.
- 0:36 And uh I think most people just aren't taking advantage of this.
- 0:40 And as you mentioned, seasonal depression, I think along with that is teenagers are locking themselves in their rooms, playing video games, things like that, rather than how they used to playing in the sun.
- 0:52 And I think that shift has been noticed among data in depression and especially in young teenagers.
- 1:00 I think there's been a rise in depression as these new forms of entertainment have taken over control uh over outdoor uh play.
- 1:11 And I think along with that is COVID also um wrote the the levels of depression rose during COVID because of the same reasons.
- 1:21 People weren't going outside spending time, they were locking themselves indoors, and this isolation really had an effect on a widespread level of mental health across America.
- 1:34 So yeah, I think you made an excellent point.
